Is anyone preparing the portfolio for Makeup and prosthetics at LCF? I'm not sure what to include. I have many makeup/Sfx work but it is mostly done it on myself and I am not sure if you can include pictures of yourself on your own portfolio.

Hey
I've applied! In my portfolio I'm including photos of my make-ups and my research to back up each of my finally design drawings, my makeups are variety of things creative/ sfx/ fashion etc... And I've heard that they love life drawing/ primary source drawing so they'll definitely be a lot of that in there, I'm only putting my best stuff in though as I also heard they don't like more than 25 pages but if you've it it obviously shuv it all in!!
I'm not too sure about putting photos in of makeup you've done on yourself, but I do a makeup course at college at the moment and I was in the same debate, some people don't seem to think it's a good idea but I suppose if it's is only a few I doubt it would matter! Hope this helps! X

Hiya, I have also applied to LCF and have to submit 10 pieces of work before 29th Jan. They mentioned 'research', would this just be taking a picture of my sketch book which has a few research bits in?? So confused. Very nervous about the whole thing but how exciting!

Ah no way, well done!! You will be fine, how exciting. Have they asked to see anything in advance? How long did it take them to get back to you?? I've applied for London, Bournemouth, Manchester & Bradford. Haven't heard back from any apart from London! x

Haha thanks I hope so!! And no none of them asked for anything apart from LCF asking me to send photos, Manchester took a few weeks but Bournemouth took even longer! But I heard that's only because they look at all the applicants together towards the end of January so it might be a lot quicker for you now! Have you applied for fashion or special effects at Manchester? x

I have applied for the Special Effects FdA at Manchester. I thought I would have more of a chance if I applied at least to one FdA considering I don't have any previous experience. Not sure if I made the right choice! Ah ok, I submitted my application on 6th Jan so it has only been just over two weeks. (just very impatient!)

So what kind of previous experience do you have if you don't mind me asking?

Oooh I see! What do you currently study ? And I'm studying make-up at college so we are constantly involved in theatre productions, fashions shows and workshops! but some university's sometimes don't want make-up students so it an advantage but also a disadvantage :/

I was just wondering what you're including in your portfolio? I'm worried I'm not including the right things!
Ive got a few SFX pictures, creative makeup, a moodboard as research, a few face charts, and a couple of life drawings?
do you think this will be ok?

Hi! That sounds really good, I'm struggling to think of everything! Stuck on the 'vocational skills'. Have you included anything regarding photography? x
